Owatrol Polytrol Colour Restorer, Easy to Apply & Deeply Penetrating, Perfect for Restoring Metals, Plastics, GRPs, PVCs, UPVCs, Composites, Chromes, Gelcoats & More - 0.5 litres

I have been waiting for the rain to hold up since I bought this last year. I have, or had, a very badly weathered black composite front door. It looked almost bleached in parts of the bottom panels and across the bottom. I was hoping that applying this polytrol would help a very shabby door look somewhat better. Without doubt, it has exceeded expectations. The door is glossy, and there are no white bits remaining. It even cleaned up the letterbox, handle and knocker. I applied it by brush first and then with a lint-free cloth, and I rubbed off the excess. I applied it in the morning when it was coolest and no direct sun. I was concerned that it would be a gloopy mess, especially since the temperature yesterday was so high and it was a little sticky into the evening. It was easy to apply and didn't drip. This morning I can see that some areas (the faux wood grain) where the weathering was so bad are a little lighter. I think rereading the instructions I could have left it a little longer (I probably left it 10 minutes working in sections) and worked into those areas a little more before wiping off. Definitely value for money. This was something I thought I'd try before reluctantly buying a new door - I really didn't want all the hassle that goes with it either. You only need a relatively small amount so I have loads of the tin left ready for the next time. I used it on the door furniture and the security lights, so very handy and versatile. An easy DIY project and very satisfying because it did work well.

If I could give 6 stars , I would. Never used anything like it , Turned all my sunbaked black trim ( which was a greyish white ). Into awesome black trim again . This was used on a Landrover made in 1998 . and all the trim looked like factory fresh . It may be a little on the pricey side , but well worth the price. Its the colour of golden syrup and does it's job as soon as it touches surfaces . I used a lint free cloth and just rubbed it on the faded "plastic" trim and job done . It it best applied out of direct sunlight or hot/warm to the touch plastic . I highly recommend Owatrol

Nice deep colour. definitely say it's durable. Absolutely stinks though. Not advisable to use on the car bumpers. Personally speaking. They looked great initially. Sadly the product reacted with my bumpers and peeling started. Not great. However, I used it on the front door and it was absolutely amazing. Really glossy an excellent results. I guess it depends on what your intention is. Application is relatively easy but just make sure to wear gloves.

Brilliant stuff . Best product I’ve found so far for the plastic car trims . Really puts the goodness back into the plastics and restores the colour brilliantly and it lasts .

I used this on a very faded dark wood effect metal garage door (which I had intended to replace at significant cost) and faded matching plastic window sills. The results are fantastic and the garage door looks like new. I have yet to see how long it will last but I’m optimistic. As I’m impatient I used the product on a hot day in full sun which meant it became tacky quite quickly which was my fault and I wouldn’t do that again as using the cloth to wipe it became a bit sticky but even so I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. And I’ve still got loads left from a 0.5 litre tin.

This stuff is great. I used it to restore the black look on faded plastics on one of my cars. All the competing products I've tried were rubbish, needing to be re-applied after a couple of weeks. This has lasted a couple of months and still looks really good. I only needed to use a tiny quantity of the oil. I suspect this tin will last the rest of my life unless I need to treat something very large.

Follow the instructions and the product is first class. Used to restore a black south facing composite front door . application by brush was easy leave to semi dry for 20 mins then wipe over to ensure no even application ( you can buff it up if your after a really shiny finish) . Allowed to fully dry for a further few hours and the finish is first class. A little goes a long way so bout I will have to buy again although I am looking at other items / areas that would benefit from an application.

Bit pricey, but used on my cast aluminium garden furniture and this product brought the table and chairs back to looking bright and looking like new. It was promoted to me by Hartman, the manufacturer of the garden furniture. Would recommend and buy again when I run out. Use as per the instructions and you’ll have no issues.

L'ho utilizzato su infissi in alluminio esterni. Il risultato è stato ottimo. Il portone e gli scuri sono tornati come nuovi. Applicazione semplice e rapida.

Génial ! Un produit qui a fait des miracles sur mon vieux salon de jardin tressé noir abîmé par les années ( ternes, gris, un peu peu vert), sur tous les plastiques et le bois. J’en rachèterais dès que mon bidon d’1 L sera fini. Il tient dans le temps, avec soleil et pluie. Je le recommande à 100 %. Bien suivre les instructions.

Ce produit est très bien je l'utilise depuis plusieurs années il ravive les couleurs d'origine des plastiques de mes véhicules

Hat wahnsinnig geholfen an der lackierten Schüko-Alu-Haustür und dem Hörmann Garagentor (beide Anthrazit). Sieht aus wie neu. In der prallen Sonne aber wohl Wiederholung nach 2 bis 3 Jahren nötig ...

A little expensive, but I have to admit that this is the first one that actually does what it says . It soaks in to the driest fender flyers on my jeep that looked like they were really about to crack and fall off and now they’re not like new, but they’re flexible again and they are beautiful to look at nice and dark and hold up even I noticed after I went in the mud and had a power wash it off it still looked nice and dark. Damn, they’re like new. I’ll probably put a second coat because mine were really really bad but yeah this is a good product. It does what it says. It’s just a little expensive.
